I learned a new word yesterday: sciatica.
Holy crap on a cracker.
I shoulda bought stock in Doan's.

Can't you fix the underlying problem causing it and not be taking pills to mask the cause?

I maybe already have. For the two days just prior to this hitting me, I spent both days sitting at a desk on a project, without walking around, taking a break. That alone might have aggravated the nerve. I've changed that behavior and in the 4 days since there's been no re-occurrance, nor hint of one, nor need for pills. IF it ever happens again I'll indeed try and find the cause.

Thanks for checking up on me, very much appreciated.

In my case once damaged recurrence has been a definite problem.

How often? Anything specific (activity, etc) trigger it? - or is it your three bad discs that makes it happen randomly, or ?

Well as I have had three herniated disc's I can safely say that what ever might aggrivate them can do the same for it. I will tell you inactivity except for recovery is your enemy. The thing that most helped me to strengthen my back and help avoid issues with my discs was getting back in the saddle after years of having not been, I'm older now and have collected more injuries and retired and mostly idle so very aware of what I am doing or acutely so afterwards.

I'm paying attention to that right there. ^^
Time to take every opportunity to get off my butt, even if it's just walking around in the house... and outside when I'm able. Come on cooler weather!

Thanks for your reply.

With that issue there is almost always an underlying problem that makes it manifest itself
Many times it's hip shift.
I lived with it for too long back 20 years ago until I figured it out
Glad you are on the mend

Hey MG,

For quick relief...

Pile the cushions on the couch even with the arm of the couch.

Get pillow for your haid.

Lay across pillows on couch with legs a "dangling" (of course you will have bent your knees)....

This stretches the lower back (I have two blowed out discs and a busted vertebrae)...and takes the pressure off.

Five to fifteen minutes (I fall asleep immediately) and most times it greatly relieves the spasms....

Sure hope this helps.

Later, Mark

Finally got the wife home from the hospital. She has to keep her left arm in a sling for a while or until
her doctors appointment. Pharmacy was closed so no medicine til tomorrow.

Thanks everyone for the prayers. I know they help.
